Please find an earlier announcement regarding all of the call-in information below. Thanks so much and advance for your participation in these efforts.

> Greetings, I hope this letter finds each of you well.
> My name is Jordy D. Stringer, and I am writing on behalf of the

> In the great state of Ohio we are currently working to develop the
> association of blind students of Ohio, and we would love your help as

> this group of students will function as one of the local arms of the
> National association of blind students. The National Association of
> Blind Students, formed at the 1967 convention of the National
> Federation of the Blind in Los Angeles, California, is the longest
> standing of all the NFB’s divisions. Having built upon the work begun
> by a small group of students in a Los Angeles hotel room over four
> decades ago, NABS has grown to become one of the largest and most
> active divisions of the NFB. For over forty years, the National
> Association of Blind Students has not only shared the NFB’s positive
> philosophy about blindness with students of all ages, but also
> provided blind students with opportunities to take on leadership roles
> within the organization.
> We  are looking for students who are excited about changing what it
> means to be blind, who  have a positive outlook on blindness, and who
> like working as part of a team to be part of this growth.
> The Ohio association of blind students will discuss issues related to
> accessible instructional materials in college and higher education,
> adaptive technology, orientation mobility training, and a wide variety
> of other things that affect blind students.
> 
> Our spring confrence call will take place on Wednesday  April 27 at
> 7:00 PM EST, and I would be most grateful  if each of you could spread
> the word.
